Z Sheet Pile
The innovative PZC™ series of steel sheet piling is domestically manufactured to be wider, lighter and
stronger than traditional PZ piling.
PZC sheet piling is made wider than PZ sections to maximize job site production in setting and driving.
They are lighter than PZ piling to minimize the required amount of steel needed for project installation.
PZC sections are stronger per pound than PZ sections in both section modulus and moment of inertia.
Gerdau is a Member of the US Green Building Council, and reports information necessary to support
earning credits as specified in the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) green building
rating system.
The LEED rating system is intended for building projects, and may not apply to projects that utilize Z-Pile.
LEED encourages responsible global adoption of sustainable green building and development practices
through the creation and implementation of universally understood and accepted tools and performance

• Best economy is obtained when plate length is limited to area of high moment.
• Filet weld should be sized to adequately resist design loads and should be continuous and all around.
• Cover plate length depends upon bending moment curve. Page 3
• Weld requirements should be specified by design engineer.

The OPEN CELL bulkhead, used primarily on docks and similar structures, is a cellular flat sheet
pile structure in which each cell’s sheet piles are driven in the shape of a ‘U’ when viewed from
above. The system functions as a horizontally tied membrane relying solely on the vertical flat
sheet pile anchor wall to restrain a curved flat sheet pile arch face. The bulkhead becomes a series of
U-shaped vertical member structures that does not require toe embedment for stability.
The OPEN CELL structure is simply constructed using PS flat sheet pile.
The standard 120° wye pile is supplied using extruded connectors or fabricated wye piles can be made
from PS sheets to accommodate project conditions. The anchor pile is made with an extruded connector
attached to either a H-pile or pipe pile.
Gerdau PS sheet pile is the ideal material for the OPEN CELL system application because it provides high
interlock tolerances and swing angles, while maintaining the necessary strength.

Concrete-filled steel grid bridge decking provides Why Use An Exodermic Bridge Deck?
a far greater life expectancy than reinforced • Light Weight – An exodermic deck typically weighs
concrete and its durability resists heavy traffic, 35% to 50% less than a reinforced concrete deck
weather and deicing agents. Our lightweight, that would be specified for the same span. The
yet strong, open steel grid flooring is the answer efficient use of materials in an Exodermic deck
for movable bridges or other conditions where means the deck can be much lighter without
minimizing dead load is a major consideration. sacrificing strength, stiffness, ride quality, or
expected life.
• Rapid Construction – Precast Exodermic decks
can be erected during a short, nighttime work
window, allowing a bridge to be kept fully open
to traffic during the busy daytime hours. Panels
are quickly placed, and layout of the single mat
of rebar is simple and straightforward, without
the need for chairs or other aids in most cases.
Open Grid Cantilevered decks can be formed without
temporary supports.
• Ease of Maintenance – An Exodermic deck is
easily maintained with standard materials and
techniques,since the top portion of an Exodermic
deck is essentially the same as the top half of a
standard reinforced concrete deck.
